He was taken to the vet where he was sedated so his wounds could be drained, cleaned and stitched up – he was also prescribed antibiotics and painkillers.
Crawford said she doesn't blame the dogs or their owner – but she would like a fence installed on their property and has asked the city council's dog control team to follow up.
"I said to dog control I don't want to take money off them because it wouldn't be right. I have already got the money raised," she said.
Within four days after setting up a Givealittle page to raise money to cover Jerry's vet bill, $1027 was donated by 61 people.
Crawford said most of the money came on the day she set up the page and she was overwhelmed by everyone's support.
The vet bill was $950, but Crawford also had additional costs to cover having Jerry's stitches cleaned.
Axel Jones, who made a donation, said he didn't know Crawford but it was such an unfortunate story.
"As a dog owner you feel that's like a friend being attacked and no doubt a very scary experience with a big bill to go with it."
Since the attack, Crawford, who already has anxiety, said she has been having panic attacks.
"That was my worst thought ever happening and now it has happened," she said.
Crawford said she has been left afraid to take Jerry out but she is hoping with "baby steps" she will be able to take him walking regularly again soon.
